Congratulations for winning of best sci-fi category from goodreads choice awards 2020! This is one of my favorite books of the year!

Five OMG I’m suffering from brain cells bleeding and explosion of my last standing grey cells, what the hell I just read and who am I ? stars!

I know the drill but let me rephrase one more time! This is not an easy, soft, sunshine and rainbows reading!

In my opinion people who are brave enough to dive into this journey should put themselves an IQ test and discover their cognitive skills. ( luckily I read the quantum physics for dummies before the beginning but I feel like I can be great cast for future dumb and dumber movie if they will ever produce the third installment)

So this book is amazing combination of time traveling, alternated lifetimes, Minority Reports meet Groundhog Day versus Black Mirror and Back to the Future kinda fascinating science fiction crashes into thriller and romance starting with an effective and memorable suicide attempt scene.
A woman suffers from FMS ( false memory syndrome) who thinks her child was being erased, her husband denied her existence so there was nothing better than jump and end her life. But she had small hope in her heart, her husband could come to rescue her but when he didn’t show up, she didn’t want to fight anymore and.... Yes, this book starts with jaw dropping scene and you’re hooked!

It’s addictive, unputdownable, nerve damaging, exhausting ride! You wanna know what’s going to happen and think about yourself if I had a chance to save my loved ones by turning back and making my wrongs turn into rights, what would happen!

Saving her daughter from the traffic accident, curing your mother’s Alzheimer disease, prevention of school shooting , saving soldiers from the terrorist attacks are just the samples writer show as in alternative realities that have possible to be changed!

The difference of Recursion from Dark Matter might be romance parts because I really enjoyed Barry and Helena’s love story. Not only they fought to bring universe into the right pattern but also they fought to get back together to be each other’s final word, everlasting love, end game!

This was thrilling, mind bending, provoking book!
Dark Matters is going to be Netflix series and I’m already sure that as a brain numbing project, this book finds its place at big screen on near future!

Highly recommended, smart, different, unique and exquisite book but not for everyone!

Pat Outstanding review Nilufer. But - hey, nobody expects sunshine and rainbows from Blake Crouch. I'm just waiting for the price to drop a bit and then I'm gonna dive into this for sure.

❥L Fantastic review, Nilufer! I'm reading Dark Matter at the moment and totally enjoying it. I will read this too when I recover my brain cells! :D xx


posthuman Wow, what a ride Nilufer I can't thank you enough for recommending this book! Had never heard of Recursion before (or the author). Picked it up it last night after reading your review and couldn't put it down -- suddenly it's 2 AM and I'm sitting there with my mind exploded. And I need a hanky to wipe away the tears. How perfect was that ending? I'm not crying, you're crying!


Nilufer Ozmekik I’m so happy you’re passionately loved this book! Thank you my friend😊
